Scrumptious Seafood: Lettuce Wraps with Smoked Trout

Photo by: Misha Gavenor

Lettuce wraps are a refreshing and healthy meal option. Here is a recipe that features smoked trout as the main ingredient. Given that it is less common to find smoked trout on the West Coast, I would guess it could be easily substituted by smoked wild salmon or smoked albacore tuna, and the wraps would taste equally good. (The Gulf of Georgia Cannery Store has some delicious local smoked fish options available).

Add trout pieces and tomatoes to vegetable mixture and toss to blend. Transfer trout-vegetable mixture to large strainer and drain off liquid. Return trout-vegetable mixture to same bowl; add mint and basil and toss to blend.

Arrange lettuce leaves on large platter. Divide trout-vegetable salad among lettuce leaves. Drizzle sweet chili sauce over each salad and sprinkle with peanuts.
